Day-by-day accounts of the trial compiled from contemporaneous press reporting of open-court proceedings. These are SUMMARIES OF REPORTING, not transcript, not testimony, and not a record of what any person said. They live in their own file and their own index table for exactly that reason, and they must never be merged into data/transcripts/ or the segments table.
Each entry states what reporting said happened on that date. Where coverage is thin the entry says so rather than filling the gap. 'coverage' is an honest confidence label: 'reported' means multiple outlets described the day's testimony; 'sparse' means only the witness list or a single detail is known; 'unverified' means the content is carried over from the original hand-built session list and has not been confirmed against reporting.
Press coverage captures a small fraction of what is said in a courtroom and skews toward dramatic moments. Absence from these summaries is not evidence that something did not happen.
